- For the benefit of netters who aren't familiar with the Pop family, I'd
- like to add that POP-11 (Poplog's version) is currently viewed as the
- most advanced and "definite" version. However, there's an interesting
- Expert System development environment called MUSE which uses a Pop
- variant: PopTalk -- a commercial object-oriented Pop derivative
- available from Cambridge Consultants. I think PopTalk is written in C
- and is therefore likely to be portable to a variety of platforms. But
- I've no up to date info on this & I don't think that CCL is on the net.
- When I am recovered from this wretched cold I'll make an effort to
- chase up this info and add it to the proto-FAQ.

- Definitely called GLOW. Definitely on the PC. Reviewed in the UK section
- which is why no one spotted it.
